Hyttsten family sues state for compensation after logging ban in Åre municipality

svt.se (Swedish)

A family denied logging rights must sue the state for compensation after a court ruling. The Hyttsten family was prohibited from logging 37.5 hectares of forest due to species protection laws, specifically concerning the three-toed woodpecker. Compensation is not automatic and requires a lawsuit against the state. New regulations effective October 1, 2026, aim to make it easier for landowners to receive compensation for logging restrictions imposed by species protection rules.
